Lille striker Moussa Sow has issued a come-and-get-me plea to Arsenal and Real Madrid, declaring he would be delighted to move to either side.
Sow was prolific last season with Rudi Garcia’s men, converting many of Eden Hazard’s assists to finish as the top goal-getter in Ligue 1 with 25 goals in 36 games as Lille took the title.
It was little surprise therefore that several sides explored the possibility of taking the 25-year-old away from the northern French side.
Leading the chase at points during the summer were Juventus and Turkish giants Fenerbahce, but Lille stood firm and ensured the Senegal hitman would remain at the club.
Indeed, Sow is viewed as vital for Lille’s title defence and forthcoming Champions League campaign.
This has not though stopped the player himself from thinking of a move and considering where he might like to go if any acceptable offers land on Lille’s mat before the summer transfer window closes.
"I feel good at Lille", said Sow to Canal+, before adding: "We’ll see what the management of the club think because, keep in mind that the transfer market ends on 31st August."
And the striker is in no doubt about where he would like to end up if bids from his chosen teams arrive.
"I’d love to play at Arsenal, because my game suits the Premier League.
"However, Real Madrid is a real top team!"
